Matt Rhule’s staff doesn’t have more sophisticated game planning and scheming vs Bama.   I agree with most NFL teams there would be a massive difference though.   It’s like if Bama’s staff all went to the pros….they suddenly don’t get a bump as more sophisticated because of the new job titles. 

that’s the main problem with our O.  Rhule’s staff can’t gameplan and scheme at this level IMO. 

Yeah, I was thinking more in terms of any generic NFL team as far as the scheme and gameplans.  As you correctly stated the Panthers are particularly bad at this.  In the hypothetical Alabama game there might be a few sophisticated plays thrown in that Rhule has learned from the pro game in the last 2 years but basically he runs a simple college scheme.  That's why the Panthers have appeared so overmatched week after week.

And Saban has pro experience too.   So in a Bama/Panther matchup.  I’m taking Saban in terms of HCs.

Yeah that was a thing for quite a long time. In the earliest days of pro football the high-end CFB teams actually were better than the NFL teams because Pro Football was still very niche and the income wasnt much different from a normal job, sometimes even less so earlier on so a lot of the top college players didn't end up playing pro.

This is a cool little tidbit that I think people either forget about or weren't aware of considering the NFL's current status as a behemoth towering over all other American sports.  Pro football was a curiosity and something of an experiment for the first few decades it was a thing.  Teams folded and merged all the time, the league would barnstorm across the country playing exhibition games for exposure, and that kind of thing.

      Team Cap Space: $35,099,731 (per OTC)

      By panthers55 · Posted

      Other than being the offseason and there isn't much to talk about, why does anyone worry about the cap? We can do whatever we want and still have cap space. You don't think the front office hasn't already figured it out and what they intend to do. Me I am just sitting back and watching. After all my job isn't on the line if we lose. Although at my age we don't have forever if I am going to live to see us play in another superbowl

      I get the TD's and I pointed it out, but like I said, when Burrow had more than double the TD's than Geno had, I think Higgins increased TDs compared to DK was more a product of Burrow and the Bengals offense than because of him vs DK as WRs. When one of their QB's finished 4th in MVP voting despite missing the playoffs and the other was just traded for a late 3rd round pick and replaced by Sam Darnold, I think that's a tough narrative to brush aside to just look at raw stats as well. Again, swap DK and Higgins last year, do you honestly believe DK wouldn't have put up better stats than Higgins did? Contracts and trade compensation aside, I'm taking DK over Higgins 100 out of 100 times, there is no debate about it for me.

      More TDs last year in less games (double the TDs) and more yards per game. Those are some tough stats to brush aside. Career stats are good but we are wanting the player for what they are currently. DK had some drop issues too.
